Random Test! These
Random Test! These are something Kenzie invented a long time ago, when she was Paige. If anyone has played the game Scattegories, it's like that. There are these categories, and you have to say something that falls into each category and starts with a certain letter. In Scattegories, a die decides the letter. For random tests, we use the first in our names (unless it's too hard or easy and you don't want to use it, in which case you can use your middle name, or your penname on a different website, or whatever you want, really. If you go by a name on Chatterbox that isn't the same as yours in RL, you can use either. So anyway, here are the categories (which I chose at random, not giving myself any sort of deliberate advantage, although I suppose that's impossible as I love these so much I always answer them multiple times, with multiple letters) (sorry if they aren't particularly good; I've never made a quiz of any kind before and I admit to copying from Scattegories whenever I can remember to, but I'm mainly just using whatever comes to mind first):
1. Mammals:
2. Birds:
3. Book titles:
4. Things that are round:
5. Things found at the circus:
6. Things found in a medicine cabinet:
7. Things that have to do with writing:
8. Things found on a beach:
9. Authors (first or last names):
10. Halloween costumes:
11. Things you can see in whatever room you happen to be in at the moment (besides yourself):
12. Painting (interpret that however you like):
13. Food:
14. Things that have to do with the CB:
15. Mythical creatures:
My answer (using K, as my real name is Katie--Katherine, really, but I haven't been called that since I was a baby, unless you count roll call with new teachers and doctors)
1. Mammals: Koala
2. Birds: Kookaburra
3. Book titles: Kirakira
4. Things
that are round: Koalas (ish... If that doesn't count, koalas' heads)
5. Things found at the circus: Kaitlin Krith? (just a random name because I could think of nothing else...)
6. Things
found in a medicine cabinet: K..... *can think of nothing*
7. Things that have to do with
writing: Um... Kwill pens? Can we misspell things?
8. Things found on a beach: Koolaid drinkers, possibly
9. Authors (first or
last names): Katherine Hannigan
10. Halloween costumes: Kangaroo
11. Things you can see
in whatever room you happen to be in at the moment (besides yourself): Kaleidoscopic colors
12. Painting
(interpret that however you like): Kaleidoscopic colors. I like using the same thing many times.
13. Food: Koolaid (See?). Or can you use beverages? If not, kabobs.
14. Things that
have to do with the CB: Kimberly? Can I use you, Kimberly? Because I don't know what else, besides another person.
15. Mythical creatures: Kraken! That was definitely the easiest question for me.
I didn't answer those particularly well, but in my defense, K is a difficult letter. So I hope that's why, and not the questions themselves, or any inadequacy in answering on my part... But I'm coming again, to answer it many more times with different letters, and I'll see. I love these things. I can't wait until I do my middle name. It's N. I have a very good, lazy strategy for N.

If you want, you can just pick a random letter and use that. Or N. Or you can just not do it.

Sorry SpamBox, but I can't use you in every post. Sometimes that part doesn't fit in.
This was hard, and so is a rock. Unlike a feather.
